Lyrics
There's a table that You've prepared for me
In the presence of my enemies
It's Your body and Your blood You shed for me
This is how I fight my battles
There's a table that You've prepared for me
In the presence of my enemies
It's Your body and Your blood You shed for me
This is how I fight my battles
I believe You've overcome
And I will lift my song of praise for what You've done
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how
In the valley I know that you're with me
Surely Your goodness and your mercy follows me
My weapons are praise and thanksgiving
This is how I fight my battles
I believe You've overcome
And I will lift my song of praise for what You've done
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles
This is how
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You

Meaning & Inspiration
Surrounded (Fight My Battles) presents worship as a response to conflict, fear, and apparent defeat. Its opening image of a table prepared in the presence of enemies comes directly from Psalm 23, while the references to Christ’s body and blood place confidence in His sacrificial victory. Rather than celebrating human strength, the lyric identifies praise and thanksgiving as the singer’s weapons and God’s presence as the true source of security.
The repeated line about being surrounded holds together the song’s central contrast. Circumstances may suggest that opposition has closed in, yet faith recognizes that God is nearer and greater than the threat. The valley, goodness, and mercy imagery further echoes Psalm 23. The song therefore frames spiritual battle as trust expressed through praise, remembrance, and communion with Christ. Its repetition reinforces a steady confession: victory has already been secured by God, and worship answers what He has done.
